Hi There
It's advisable to consult your treating neurologist before making a decision as low pressure at high altitudes can cause injury to nervous tissue as he is also on PLAVIX.
If I'll be his treating doctor I would not advise to go for it, nothing is more important than a healthy life without disabilty.
I wish him good health
